It did come out very well, Colin. The lessons will return as you build and new ones will be learnt.

Welcome back. That's good news on the hand. The gallery is looking good and I'm sure you'll get them the way you want.

Treenails... easy. Drill your hole for the treenail. Then you can fill with wood putty or just dip a toothpick into a bit of glue and put it in the hole. When the glue dries , clip it at the plank and then sand the hull. Several ways of doing the T-shaped cross section or rabbets. If you have a mill, you can mill it. If not. laminate pieces together. Another way is using a hobby table saw (you may need to "stack" blades) to cut the rabbet. If you go the saw route, use a fence and push sticks. Keep your fingers away from the blade.

They basically used those as waterborne gun emplacements. Something similar was used during the US Civil War.

Belay Pins
mtaylor replied to shipman's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Brass belaying pins in assorted sizes are available at various hobby sites if you don't want to turn them. Saves a lot of lathe time doing a pile of fiddly bits. -
I have a set of similar to what Bob Creek showed (Gerstner branded). One of the small drawers holds my blades (in the plastic tubes or boxes as I buy in bulk) and the handles. I won't store a handle with a blade in it. The only ones with blades are on the workbench with a piece of masking tape on the blade. I've had some nasty cuts in the past storing blades on the handles.

Mini Lathe recommendations?
mtaylor replied to jfinan's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
If you've never used a lathe before, here's link for some tutorials. Not specific to what we do but they do give a pretty good overview and "how-to". https://littlemachineshop.com/info/menu_page.php?parent=itm11 -
Nice plumbing work, Danny. The loco is really coming together wonderfully.

Hello again, it's been a very long time!

Welcome back, Rick. -
What John said Peter. If your scrap box isn't full, you're doing it wrong... or so it seems.

Just quietly waiting for the finish line. Spectacular model Dan.

Google is your friend. Here's what have for 1800. If you search for French Navy Uniforms they have a "suggested" searches that appears... 1700, 1800, etc. And the link below is for both images and websites. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1ZCEB_enUS832US832&ei=qiXvXYOjKtb6-gSFxaDoBA&q=french+navy+uniforms+1800&oq=french+navy+uniforms+&gs_l=psy-ab.1.3.0j0i22i30l4.45208.47889..56979...4.2..0.132.585.0j5......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j33i22i29i30.BSR_9rqe2qo

I think you're right Scallywag. And as I pointed out earlier, the Bluejacket one is based on much earlier look than the MS. The MS version is based on the 1927 rebuild (I think that's the one or close to it). The MS is based on as she looked in the early 1800's....

When have you actually passed the halfwaypoint in building a kit?
mtaylor replied to Vane's topic in Wood ship model kits
It's journey with out road signs or maps. Maybe when starting the rigging? Done painting? Everyone's 'mid-point' will different. -
So you'll have the fleet passing in review, Chris?

I saw in the news where they just did the last crewman's burial on her. There's 15 (I think) still alive but they've all decided for a private family plot.

Great to see you back, Aviaamator.

Mick, I see you have possibly what you need. But here's their URL just in case: http://www.constructo.es/ It's in Spanish and you'll probably need Google Translate to use the site... unless you speak and read Spanish that is.
